Dm , C, F, G, B, C
Dm , C, F, G, B, C

F              Am                   Dm
If all this is easy and all that we need
               B                    F  C
we?ve fallen behind, we?ve fallen behind
F                   Am                  Dm
you can dig all you like and make a big pile
                 B                        F  C
and sing all the while, and sing all the while

Dm                C                          F
But you?re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I?m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  B  Am      B     F               C                     F
write, it?s alright, I?m shedding my skin instead of these tears




F          Am                Dm
Swimming alone and torn in between
          B                   F   C
life in a dream or life on a string
F       Am                 Dm
living atop our own little hills
                B                           F  C
perched for the kill, we?re perched for the kill



Dm                C                          F
and you?re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I?m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  B  Am      B     F               C                     F
write, it?s alright, I?m shedding my skin instead of these tears

F               Am                      Dm
If love was the light first seen at our birth
                 B                       F   C
and then all the earth, and then all the earth
F          Am            Dm
how can it fall so far behind
         B                        F    C
try to remind me, and I?ll try to remind


Dm                C                          F
But you?re just a boy who strummed the right chord

and I?m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  B  Am     B      Am  B  Am     B      Am  B    Am   B
